The film starts out with a blurred out love scene with some sound effects.
There is a moderate amount of R-rated language-a half dozen uses of the f-word, and a number of other obscenities (s**t, d**k, d*mn, a**hole). It’s a film that shows how important it is to be upright and hold strong to your convictions. Beacham has the opportunity to make choices that would bring him sweet and quick victory, but would ultimately ruin him if he was found out. However, Beacham and those in the judicial system do the best they can to bring justice. Hopkins’ Crawford is sadistically awful, a cold-hearted killer with no emotion and no remorse. None of the characters are particularly redemptive. He has to choose between his career or chasing down the evidence to convict a man who is working to con the entire American judicial system. Willy Beacham ( Ryan Gosling) is the lawyer that is given the case, and on the verge of a big pay raise, and a job at a high rise law firm, realizes that the case is a lot deeper than he ever imagined. It’s then discovered that he has tangled a legal web of doubt over his case, and what appears to be a simple open and shut trial, drags on.
In a fit of anger, he murders his wife and surrenders to police coincidentally, the detective is his wife’s lover. Ted Crawford ( Anthony Hopkins) is a highly successful structural engineer who discovers his wife is having an affair with a police detective.
